I have an image (Converted to a MovieClip) that I want to use with scale-9. I can setup the scale-9 rectangle either with Actionscript or in the IDE. Either way, my image isn’t scaling properly.

Is there a problem in Flash with using images for scale-9 effects? Unfortunately this image would be too difficult to reproduce with the drawing API.

I saw an unfixed bug report on Adobe about this issue. Has anyone found a way around it?

(Flash CS3).

Thanks,
